Mindscape by Jacques Drouin, National Film Board of Canada

Jacques Drouin used all pencil drawing and a pin board and created a story of an artist traveling inside his drawing. I chose this animation mostly because as your watching this artist imagine this amazing landscape you kind of wish you were there being able to see how breath taking walking down this road would be. And this artist is kind of consumed by his own drawing the more and more he draws to the point where it's so real he's able to step into his canvas and wonder aimlessly in his art.
completely computer animated Homer Simpson doing the ALS Ice bucket challenge. I chose this because it's the every Simpsons ever marathon and the ALS ice bucket trend just ended last month. I think it's cool that so many celebrities did this challenge but, they never really tried to raise awareness of ALS but that's mostly what this animation is about. Other than the fact that I just find it amusing.




claymation "magic water". I chose this film because it was cool how the creator manipulated the clay to look sort of like water and interacted with it making it look as if it was in a liquid form. Also adding the sound effects of the water. It was cool to watch this guy make this clay look like water and imagine the time that it would have taken.
An animated drawing of a girl losing her father. I chose this because the farther the story progresses you start to get more emotionally involved with it and the animation really sucks you in to the story. This isn't just a random animation someone put together it has a plot and a true meaning behind it which got me really interested.
Dean Fleicher (Youtube) Still/ stop animation of Marcel the Shell. I chose this because I found it amusing how this guy is interviewing a shell with an eye stuck on with play-dough and shoes glued to the bottom, and how they basically created a life for this shell giving her a daily routine and her favorite hobbies

Rotoscope animation. I picked this one because a long time ago my sister and I tried to have a lemonade stand and basically the same thing happened. We didn't really get along very well but after a while we became best of friends.
